Re: L.A. Lakers fire coach Mike Brown

yes he was like the owner before they made a trade he would have had to accept it. as well as free egency

You need to be more clear, what trades/free agency specifically did LeBron accepted or rejected since you say he was like a owner?

And no, he wasn't like a owner, if he was, when the Cavs had a opportunity to get Amare via trade (which LeBron had no problem with) with the Suns, it would of probably been a successful trade. But the actual owner/management didn't want to include J.J. Hickson in the deal which is a decision I know they probably regret. LeBron along with any other superstar/player and even logical fans would of made that move, but the retarded Cavs management didn't.

On Topic: Watching ESPN and they are saying Phil Jackson and Mike D'Antoni are leading candidates for the head coaching position.

P.s. if some things look weird I typed this on my phone

It's true that playing for an organization like the Lakers comes with higher standards, but he should of gotten more time then 5 games of 82. I agree he is not the best of coaches but their lack of chemistry was expected (from people who actually know basketball) due to the fact that they have 2 new starters who are essential for their success, and one of those players is currently injured (Nash). Also they have gotten some new players for their bench so you add that to the equation 5 games in is a little too soon to fire him imo.

I agree. Phil will be a huge pickup, although I thought they should of gave Brian Shaw the position when Phil retired.

You are confusing benefits from actually being a owner. You have yet to answer my question of which trades/free agency did LeBron specifically accept or reject? And like I said he did receive benefits along with many other players, he probably has gotten more than many other players since he is a superstar but one of owner/management main purposes is improving their team via trade/free agency/draft. In no way shape or form has LeBron been the guy that accepts/rejects players because he does not have the power too. The owner/management does, not players. So again stop getting confused with the two.

It seems you can't answer a basic question, but I expected that since your claims was baseless and you couldn't support what you were posting. I'll say it again, yes LeBron received benefits (which many other players do) but he was not like a owner as you keep repeating.

No.
PUU brings out a very valid argument with the JJ hickson and amare trade. This did not push thru because the basketball operations officer of the cavs really thought that hickson was a keeper, which right about now they are hugely regretting.

the cavs did what lebron wanted

The cavs essentially drafted lebron in 2003 and did nothing to help him. I can only name 3 players Lebron has played with that was actually worth remembering, Anderson Varejão, Shaquille O'Neal (because he is a future hall of famer), and Mo Williams (because he was actually pretty good). The point is that these were honestly fringe players who Cleveland organization expected Lebron to win with, which he did not.
